Optimize hooks for large datasets

**Problem**
When working with helpers, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the hooks, helpers, and existing error-handling paths, then clarify which large-dataset behavior and messages are in scope; done should include agreed error details and coverage for the affected cases.
